Dear Mr Webster,

We write to acknowledge receipt of your request, under the Freedom of
Information Act 1982 (FOI Act), seeking the following documents: 

I request a copy of the Treasurer Jim Chalmers' receipt for his dinner at
Chairman & Yip Canberra on November 19, 2024  

The Treasury provides secretariat services to its portfolio ministers in
FOI matters. Your request was received on 10 January 2025. The FOI Act
provides that we have 14 days to acknowledge, and 30 days to process, the
request. This period may be extended if we need to consult third parties
or for other reasons. We will advise you if this happens. 

We will advise you if a charge is payable to process your request and the
amount of any such charge as soon as possible.  

We make the following assumptions that affect the scope of the request.
These are set out below. 

It is our usual practice: 

o not to disclose the personal information of government employees or
the personal contact details of senior government employees (including
those of the Treasury). The names of senior officers will generally be
released.  
o not to release duplicates of any document captured within the scope of
the request.  
o only the final version of a document will be considered within scope. 

Please inform us if you do not agree to the request being processed on the
above assumptions. If we do not hear from you, your request will be
processed on the basis that these documents are outside the scope of your
request. 

We will contact you using the email address you provided. Please advise if
you would prefer us to use an alternative means of contact. 

If you have any questions in relation to your application, please contact
the FOI Team on 02 6263 2800. 

Kind regards
